11. Open “erdas.dat” and replace the string “YOUR_HOST” with your real host name.

12. Go to that folder “C:\Program Files (x86) \ ERDAS \ Shared \ Licensing \ bin \ Win32Release” on Drive C:\. Start Lmtools.exe. Go to Config Services Tab. Write “ERDAS Licensing Service” as a new Service Name. Click on Save Service. Then browse for lmgrd.exe, browse for erdas.dat for license file and Log.log for the log file. NOW VERY IMPORTANT. Click also on “Use Services” below, I made a picture to make it clear. Then click on Save Service again.

You SHOULD click also on “start server on powerup”, therwise you need to start the license server “always” by hand whenever you wanna use it and after reboot. And NOT via Lmtools but via your Service Manager Configuration under Control Panel.

13. Since this is a SERVICE now, it cant be started via LMTools, but you need it to start via Services under “Control Panel”. !!!!!!

14.After you started the “Erdas Licensing Service”. Start LMtools and look at the System Settings Tab. Look at your IP Address (in my example 169.254.91.110). Notice it somewhere. Then in the same folder start “LicAdmin.exe”, click on Server>Add remote server. Then write in your “IP Address” you wrote down before and 1700 as Port Number. Click OK. Click on License Sources and your IP should be shown with all Unlocked features. Look at the picture I made from my system!!!
